No problem, Rini. It happens all the time. It's just that we don't hear from Broken Angel very often and this is her only thread so far, that I know of. I'm also interested in what she does or has done for a career or hobbies. I'm hoping she can stay out of the hospital long enough to get out and enjoy life a little.

Wow Angel, that's sounds wonderful.
I'm sorry that you got so sick that you couldn't see all of your patients and you ended up in hospital.
I hope you can manage to stay out of hospital a little longer and maybe take up your singing again, full time
Keep Smiling

True...but I feel sad fr d fact dt my patients cn gt bettr wth my trtmnt but der seems ti b nothn dt cn cure my suffrng n pain..I feel soooo helpless
Great to hear more about you. I think I remember you mentioned being a physiotherapist earlier in the thread. Now knowing you are a singer, too, is great. It's heartbreaking that your pain and other symptoms are so unmanageable. Are these problems all from Wegener's? Or are there other complications, too? I hope the docs who are treating you have enough experience to do the best they can for you.

D scleritis keratitis iritis n cataract in d eye is due to wegs steroids dt m on fr it...n nw steroids are causng syd effcts..
So the eye issues are the main area of wegs involvement? Not to minimize it, it sounds awful, and would make it hard to function in life if you get no relief and the steroids cause big problems. Do you have any other involvements such as nasal/ear/sinus, lungs, kidneys, joint pain, or have you had at some stage? Are you on any other Wegs meds such as the standard immunosuppressants ( CTX, MTX, RTX, AZA, Cellcept) or have you been in the past? Have you ever been in remission or close to it? Are you currently still in the hospital? I wonder if there is an ophthalmologist with significant WG experience who you can see, if you aren't already seeing one, in addition to a good rheumatologist whom I hope you are seeing. Sorry for all the questions, I just really wish you an end to these problems so you can get on with your life.
